Jeffrey Epstein is suspected of running the world's biggest "honeytrap" racket on behalf of Russia intelligence agency, the KGB. He even met Russian President Vladimir Putin after being convicted in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution, The Daily Mail reported. More than three million new documents linked to Epstein were released, and there are 1056 documents carrying Putin's name. There are also 9629 referring to Moscow.

The Daily Mail quoted sources as saying that US security services were aware of Epstein's Russian connections and monitored him for years. However, the UK intelligence officials were reportedly hesitant due to Epstein's connection to former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The documents show that Epstein was possibly doing the dirty job of getting girls for some of the world's most powerful men as a honeytrap.

Epstein is believed to have entered the world of espionage with support from Robert Maxwell, his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell's father. He was a British media magnate who lived a flamboyant life, and mostly travelled in his chopper or the yacht Lady Ghislaine, named after his daughter. Robert was found floating dead in the Atlantic Ocean, after allegedly falling overboard from his yacht in 2019.

Security sources say that an oil tycoon working for Russian intelligence put Epstein in touch with Maxwell and the KGB. Investigations into Maxwell and his business had revealed that he had links to the KGB, Israeli intelligence service Mossad and MI6, the United Kingdom's foreign intelligence agency. Maxwell allegedly laundered Russian money into the West, with help from Epstein.
